his_o so_o wonderful_a preservation_n now_o it_o be_v time_n to_o proceed_v to_o the_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n reason_n 4_o but_o first_o i_o will_v answer_v this_o question_n be_v the_o testimony_n which_o the_o scripture_n give_v to_o themselves_o of_o sufficient_a credit_n yes_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n wherewith_o christ_n 1.13.14.17.18_o christ_n âohn_n 1.13.14.17.18_o justify_v the_o record_n which_o he_o bear_v of_o himself_o 1_o we_o know_v from_o whence_o the_o scripture_n come_v even_o from_o god_n spirit_n 1.20.21_o spirit_n pet._n 1.20.21_o 2_o the_o father_n as_o we_o have_v prove_v be_v a_o witness_n therefore_o the_o testimony_n of_o two_o be_v true_a and_o consequent_o of_o credit_n now_o christ_n say_v 5.39_o say_v âhn_n 5.39_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v the_o old_a testament_n which_o be_v before_o christ_n testify_v of_o i_o if_o of_o christ_n then_o of_o his_o word_n that_o be_v his_o gospel_n for_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n can_v tell_v 4.25_o tell_v ââhn_n 4.25_o that_o the_o messiah_n that_o be_v christ_n when_o he_o come_v shall_v tell_v we_o all_o thing_n it_o may_v be_v she_o have_v hear_v that_o moses_n prophesy_v of_o christ_n who_o be_v to_o be_v hear_v in_o all_o thing_n ââ_o thing_n act_n 7._o ââ_o beside_o christ_n be_v the_o corner_n stone_n of_o the_o foundation_n that_o be_v doctrine_n as_o of_o the_o apostle_n so_o of_o the_o prophet_n therefore_o the_o prophet_n give_v testimony_n to_o christ_n and_o his_o word_n as_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n that_o be_v the_o old_a testament_n give_v testimony_n to_o christ_n and_o his_o word_n which_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n so_o christ_n in_o those_o word_n john_n 5.39_o do_v give_v a_o honourable_a testimony_n to_o the_o old_a testament_n say_v in_o they_o you_o think_v to_o have_v eternal_a life_n and_o two_o of_o the_o chief_a apostle_n give_v likewise_o testimony_n to_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o peter_n say_v â_o say_v 2_o pet._n 1._o â_o we_o have_v a_o most_o sure_a word_n of_o the_o prophet_n here_o prophet_n as_o eph_n 2.20_o be_v put_v for_o the_o whole_a old_a testament_n and_o paul_n say_v 3â_n say_v 2_o tim._n 3â_n the_o whole_a scripture_n be_v give_v by_o inspiration_n whereby_o the_o old_a testament_n without_o doubt_n be_v signify_v &_o the_o new_a testament_n may_v be_v understand_v have_v finish_v this_o course_n of_o testimony_n to_o the_o word_n by_o way_n of_o imitation_n as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v i_o be_o now_o to_o show_v how_o the_o other_o three_o ground_n do_v prove_v this_o 5._o ââason_n 5._o the_o first_o be_v there_o be_v a_o god_n to_o be_v worship_v therefore_o there_o be_v a_o word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v believe_v there_o be_v many_o god_n so_o call_v 8.5_o call_v cor._n 8.5_o every_o one_o have_v his_o prescribe_a worship_n whereby_o he_o be_v honour_v according_a to_o his_o own_o mind_n as_o saturn_n have_v his_o saturnalia_fw-la and_o drunken_a bacchus_n his_o bacchanalia_fw-la yea_o the_o scripture_n intimate_v as_o much_o 7.43_o much_o act_n 7.43_o moloch_n have_v his_o tabernacle_n and_o remphan_v his_o star_n so_o that_o the_o

god_n be_v less_o zealous_a of_o his_o glory_n then_o false_a god_n be_v of_o their_o suppose_a honour_n heathen_a man_n conclude_v otherwise_o for_o when_o they_o hear_v that_o the_o samaritan_n be_v devour_v by_o lion_n they_o deem_v the_o cause_n be_v not_o worship_v the_o god_n of_o the_o land_n after_o his_o own_o manner_n 17.25.26_o manner_n 2_o king_n 17.25.26_o god_n have_v make_v all_o

of_o the_o just_a and_o unjust_a to_o be_v expect_v therefore_o there_o be_v a_o word_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v believe_v for_o howsoever_o cicero_n hold_v the_o
